Draco's POV

I felt her nuzzle against my chest as she read and smiled. This has got to be my favorite thing, me and her, in my dorm room, while I listen to her read and feel her heartbeat steady as I stroke her hair.

"Wait wait listen..." she swatted at my chest. Trust me baby, I' m listening. I nodded and she continued, "this is my favorite line, 'He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.'" She blushed into my chest and sat up, "it's corny I know but... it's... beautiful. It's a beautiful way to describe love... real love. Love that... you don't know how to describe it but sometimes you just find the most perfect words and..." She looked at me and buried her face in her hands. "Sorry, it's unoriginal and lame I know."

"No. It's not... I think it's beautiful too. I think... I think there could be nothing more precise than those words to describe..." I got nervous and laughed, "never mind baby. Keep reading."

"No no. You don't get to do that. Tell me." She crossed her arms over her chest and sat firmly. I love how she thinks she looks intimidating. But I can't laugh, then she'll certainly kill me.

"You'll make fun of me." I whispered and she took my hands in hers, mindlessly tracing patterns on them.

"No. I won't. Tell me."

"Well... umm... I don't think there can be more precise words ever written to describe what... what I feel for you." I felt her stop tracing patterns on my hands and looked up at her. I knew I shouldn't have said anything. Damn it. I have to learn to say no to you, just as I do everyone else. But that's the thing, you're not everyone else. You're Kat, Kitty. And I love you. And I don't think I've ever found the right words to describe how much I have come to love you until you shared with me this new novel you are so obsessed with. I saw her simply staring at me, her lips slightly parted and a faint blush covering her cheeks. A couple seconds later she seemed to finally snap out of her trance and smiled widely, only increasing her blush even more.

"I... I feel the same way." She didn't have to say more, I took her face in my hands and joined her lips with mine, just as I had done many times before, and yet, this time felt different.

This time, I felt so much relief that I let myself go, no worries, no insecurities, just me and Kat. In this moment in time. Captured. Our souls, as one. We kept on like this for a while, losing ourselves in the feeling of each other's lips, but more than that, in how much love we felt for each other at the moment. Suddenly, she pulled away and I was startled.

"Is something wrong?"

"No, I just... I want to do more." She said shyly and blushed.

"Wait... you mean?" I raised an eyebrow at her and she nodded shyly. "Are you sure baby? You know we play around and everything but I would never want to pressure you into something you might not be sure of."

"I'm sure. I want to." She nodded and started tugging at my loosely buttoned white shirt, then she stopped. "Wait... unless, you don't want to? That's fine."

She had misunderstood me. I was just asking to make sure I didn't pressure her or do something wrong. Either way if she ever wants to stop we will.

"Of course I want to. Come here woman." I grabbed her thigh and pulled her so she would sit on top of me as I laid down and played with the top of her skirt. She giggled and unbuttoned all of my shirt buttons, opening up my shirt and tracing patterns over my abdomen.

"Woah." She whispered and I couldn't help the small laughter that escaped me. She groaned and covered her face with her hands, "ugh I'm doing bad so far, aren't I?" I shook my head quickly.

"No. You're doing great. It's just... you've seen this part of me before so I don't understand the surprise I guess."

"You're... beautiful. I'll always be taken aback by how handsome you are." She answered simply and it was my turn to smile. God I really love her. I kissed her and lifted myself off the bed just enough for her to take off my shirt completely. I felt her tug on my hair as she nipped my bottom lip and groaned, squeezing her thigh, eliciting a slight wince from her. I backed away a little, scared I hurt her.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No it's just... you squeezed a little tight." She lifted her skirt slightly so I could see what she was pointing out and apologized immediately for the slight crescent marks on the side of her upper thigh. "It's fine, I umm..." She blushed slightly, "I actually didn't hate it. It just took me by surprise." Oh? Oh. I nodded and pulled her closer to me, if that was even possible. I began unbuttoning her shirt and when it was completely unbuttoned, parted from her slightly to get a better look at her. Wow. She is beautiful.

Absentmindedly, I started tracing the shape of her chest with my fingertip, listening to her breath catch as I moved down the middle of her chest and eventually landed on a scar on the right side of her abdomen.

"What happened there?" I traced over it.

"Can we not talk about it, please? It'll ruin the mood." I saw the all too familiar dark cloud float over her mind and knew that this was not the moment. I nodded and let myself keep kissing her as if nothing happened.

She tugged at my belt, quickly slipping it off and letting it clang loudly on the floor, doing the same thing with my trousers quickly. Then it was my turn, I laid her down on the bed and moved down to remove her skirt, opening up the zipper with my teeth and making her breath hitch. I nipped at the skin on her lower abdomen, right above her underwear and smiled when she tangled her hands in my hair and pulled me up to kiss her deeply, letting me tug at her bottom lip with my teeth.

That's how we spent tonight, getting lost in each other, loving every part of each other. I will always love you. Always Kat.

(i really want a cute ship name for them. can y'all give me any ideas?)
